Chapter 33 Li Zexi lacks romantic cells
Guo Kai snorted disdainfully: "This is nothing, it's just that your English is too poor."
Li Zexi: "..."
Li Zexi ignored him and turned to Jason and said, "Your choice of words is inaccurate. Beautiful is usually used to describe girls. You want to call a man like me handsome, OK?"
Jason scratched his head and repeated a cool word in English.
Li Zexi understood this time and nodded with a smile.
Then Jason pointed at Guo Kai and said in broken Mandarin: "Your boyfriend is more handsome."
Li Zexi: "..."
He was about to correct that the word boyfriend should not be used in this context, but male friend should be used instead.
Guo Kai took the lead and put his arm around Li Zexi's shoulders, saying to Jason: "Thank you."
Li Zexi slapped Guo Kai's hand on his shoulder and said, "Thank you for nothing. Take your paw away."
…
Li Zexi did not continue to dwell on the topic of her boyfriend.
I then started discussing with Jason about teaching each other our native languages.
Li Zexi spoke Chinese mixed with halting English.
Jason's English is mixed with Mandarin that doesn't quite express the meaning.
Even some local dialects pop up from time to time.
The two of them started chatting in a neither-nor-speaking manner.
Guo Kai stood aside and watched with his arms folded and an expression of unbearable expression.
I thought: What the hell is this?
Since he was young, Guo Kai has been arranged to have private tutors at home teaching various languages, who take turns to teach him.
Although he didn't like learning, he was forced to learn a lot through long-term exposure.
In addition, before his parents divorced, they often took him on trips abroad.
Even if you don't deliberately learn it, your mind will be filled with all kinds of foreign accents.
He currently speaks English and Japanese fluently.
I can also understand and communicate in other languages like German, French, Korean, etc.
So, when he overheard the half-Chinese, half-English conversation between Li Zexi and Jason.
Guo Kai listened while pinching his nose and resisting the urge to cover his ears.
Li Zexi and Jason were very engaged in the conversation. They were confused and guessing at the same time, but they became more and more excited as the conversation went on. It seemed that they appreciated each other and felt that they had met too late.
In the end, everyone in the English corner had left, and the aunties who were dancing square dance in the park had gone home to pick vegetables, but the two were still chatting.
Guo Kai couldn't bear it any longer, so he stretched out his wrist and shook it in front of Li Zexi, meaning that it was getting late and they should leave quickly.
Li Zexi glared at him and thought: You don’t have a watch on your wrist, why are you waving it in front of me?
Guo Kai signaled with his eyes: Let’s go?
Li Zexi raised his eyebrows: If you are in a hurry, go first.
Guo Kai pursed his lips in anger and raised his head to glare at the little sparrow on the willow tree.
There were two little sparrows, who looked like a pair. They were kissing each other and jumping happily from one branch to another.
Chirping and very noisy.
There was also a lonely little sparrow, flying sadly following behind them, and no one knew what was going on.
Guo Kai became even more annoyed.
He lowered his eyes and stared at Jason across from him.
A foreign friend who was having a great time chatting with Li Zexi suddenly felt two X-lasers shooting towards him as if they were going to pierce his head.
Jason shuddered and looked at Guo Kai.
The two people's eyes fought back and forth in mid-air for a few seconds.
Jason seemed to realize something, and turned to Li Zexi and said: "He said he is not your boyfriend, and the way he looked at me seemed to want to kill me."
Li Zexi: "..."
…
Everything went smoothly during this meeting and we were both very satisfied with each other.
Li Zexi and Jason then established a relationship where they became each other's teachers.
We agreed to meet again at the English Corner next Saturday.
Before leaving, Li Zexi asked Jason if he wanted to take the bus back to school with them.
Jason was about to agree when he suddenly felt a sharp gaze on his face. Turning around, he saw Guo Kai staring at him with hostility.
Jason waved his hand wisely: "No, I have other things to do. I won't go back to school yet. You guys go back."
This sentence in Mandarin is spoken very standardly. It seems that Mr. Li's teaching of more than an hour has begun to show results.
Li Zexi said: "Okay, see you next week."
"See you next week."
Guo Kai thought: I’m going to see you for the hell of it.
On the way back to school, Li Zexi suggested that they walk back to exercise.
Guo Kai had no objection.
The two of them walked back along the sidewalk as if they were taking a stroll.
There seems to be frost in the air in late autumn, not cold but slightly chilly.
There are plane trees planted on both sides of the road.
The broad and thick leaves have all changed color and are hanging densely on the treetops, each one golden and swaying.
In his previous life, Li Zexi loved walking on this wide sycamore street in late autumn.
The leaves are falling and the sky is high and the clouds are light.
With an MP3 in my pocket and earphones on my ears, soft music flows into my ear canal along the headphone cord.
The whole world is so quiet, romantic and pure.
At that time, I was still a girl who loved to dream.
At this moment, I walk the old road again, the scenery remains the same, but things and people have changed.
Li Zexi pointed to a towering building on the left and said to Guo Kai: "Don't look at it, this building is now known as the tallest building in the city and a landmark building.
In seven or eight years, its position will be replaced by another building. That building will be taller, more magnificent, and more spectacular in appearance, and will become a new landmark.
And the glory of this building will be forgotten in a corner and no one will mention it again. ”
Guo Kai looked at him in surprise and asked, "How did you know?"
Li Zexi curled his lips and answered ambiguously: "I just know it."
Guo Kai said disdainfully: "Tsk, you are quite pretentious."
Li Zexi was just expressing his feelings to himself and didn't expect Guo Kai to believe him.
I didn't say anything back.
The two of them walked side by side, at a moderate pace, their shoulders bumping into each other from time to time, then separating, naturally.
None of them tried to find a topic to talk about.
Just remain silent.
Guo Kai didn't feel awkward at all. He felt extremely relaxed. He had never walked on the street with anyone so casually before.
There is no sense of time, pressure or boredom.
It's like two friends who have known each other for a long time. There is no need to say much. They just feel comfortable being together.
Guo Kai once again felt from the bottom of his heart that Li Zexi was truly an amazing person.
It seems that no matter how violent or anxious the emotions are, when they are near him, they will be like the autumn breeze blowing on your face.
Smooth out any wrinkles.
I felt so calm, as if there were only two of us in the world.
No one else can give you this feeling.
Even Wang Jiaming and Lin Haoxiang, my childhood friends, can't give it to me.
Li Zexi suddenly asked: "What was the name of the song you played on your computer last night?"
Guo Kai's thoughts were interrupted. After a few seconds of recalling, he replied: "It's an American folk song called "Sleepyhead."
Li Zexi opened his eyes wide: "Sleeping head?"
Guo Kai almost pouted. How on earth did Li Zexi get into this key university with his grades? With this elementary school student's translation level, could he have gotten in by acting cute?
Li Zexi saw that Guo Kai looked constipated.
Suddenly I realized: "Oh, the sleeping person. It should be translated as a sleeping person, or it can also be translated as a lazy ghost, right?"
Guo Kai took a deep breath: Fortunately, it’s better than elementary school level.
Guo Kai resisted the urge to ridicule him and patiently explained: "As far as this song is concerned, it should be more appropriately translated as Sleeping Beauty.
It mainly tells the story of a royal princess who desperately crosses countries in pursuit of free love, but is later cursed and falls into a sleeping state. The prince she loves starts a war to save her, but in the end still fails to wake the princess up. ”
Li Zexi listened with a frown, very seriously.
Guo Kai couldn't help feeling a little smug, thinking that his knowledge was showing off and that Li Zexi would surely admire and love him even more.
Unexpectedly, after a moment, Li Zexi said: "Isn't this prince a fool? For the so-called love, he started a war between two countries and made countless innocent soldiers suffer for their mess. What is there to praise?"
Guo Kai: “…………”
This man really does not have any romance at all.
